| Grading system | Please see marking system below. |
| Assessment | Modules will be assessed by a mixture of coursework and exams. Module outlines will be provided to students after the nomination deadline. As per College guidelines, students will receive feedback on their coursework between 2 – 3 weeks after submission. If you fail an exam but achieve over 40% on the module overall grade, you have passed the module and a re-sit exam is not required. If you have not achieved a minimum of 40% on the module overall, you may be required to re-sit the exam or resubmit coursework to achieve a pass mark for the module. Resitting an exam or resubmitting coursework will result in the module being capped at the pass rate of 50%. Students may only resit an exam or resubmit a piece of coursework once. Students have the opportunity to re-sit failed exams in the August/September resit period. The decision on whether you resit an exam to pass a module rests with your home institution. |
| Codes of Conduct | The Imperial College Student Code of Conduct must be adhered to while on exchange at Imperial. Additionally, the Business School has created guidance for students on using GenAI tools for assessments. Students must adhere to these guidelines while at Imperial. Please see the FAQs page for further details. |
| Attendance | Students must attend all electives they enrol in. If for any reason a student needs to withdraw from an elective, please email bsmscexchange.queries@imperial.ac.uk. Students must familiarise themselves with and follow the Attendance Monitoring Policy along with using the Attendance Monitoring App. If a student falls below the required 75% in-person attendance, they may be removed from the module. Please see the FAQs page for further details. |
Grading System
* Compensation of module marks
Whilst a mark of below 50% for a module is a failure according to the College assessment scheme, in some cases, this may be compensated. Compensation is when a module can be passed and credit can be awarded by the Board of Examiners where the student has achieved a marginal fail. This normally applies when the average for the module overall (for instance, when the exam mark is combined with the coursework mark) is between 40-49%. Where a student achieves less than 40% for the module overall, the module cannot be compensated.
